The formation of a noncovalent triblock copolymer based on a coiled-coil peptide motif is demonstrated in solution. A specific peptide pair (E and K) able to assemble into heterocoiled coils was chosen as the middle block of the polymer and conjugated to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and polystyrene (PS) as the outer blocks. Mixing equimolar amounts of the polymer-peptide block copolymers PS-E and K-PEG resulted in the formation of coiled-coil complexes between the peptides and subsequently in the formation of the amphiphilic triblock copolymer PS-E/K-PEG. Aqueous self-assembly of the separate peptides (E and K), the block copolymers (PS-E and K-PEG), and equimolar mixtures thereof was studied by circular dichroism, dynamic light scattering, and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the noncovalent PS-E/K-PEG copolymer assembled into rodlike micelles, while in all other cases, spherical micelles were observed. Temperature-dependent studies revealed the reversible nature of the coiled-coil complex and the influence of this on the morphology of the aggregate. A possible mechanism for these transitions based on the interfacial free energy and the free energy of the hydrophobic blocks is discussed. The self-assembly of the polymer-peptide conjugates is compared to that of polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene glycol), emphasizing the importance of the coiled-coil peptide block in determining micellar structure and dynamic behavior. 相似文献

The structure and properties of presumed block copolymers of polypropylene (PP) with ethylene-propylene random copolymers (EPR), i.e., PP-EPR and PP-EPR-PP, have been investigated by viscometry, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, gel permeation chromatography, wide-angle x-ray diffraction, and other techniques testing various mechanical properties. PP-EPR and PP-EPR-PP were synthesized using δ-TiCl3-Et2-AlCl as a catalyst system. The results indicate that the intrinisic viscosity of these polymers increases with each block-building step, whereas the intrinsic viscosity of those prepared by chain transfer reaction (strong chain-transfer reagent hydrogen was introduced between block-building steps during polymerization) hardly changes with the reaction time. Compared with PP/EPR blends, PP-EPR-PP block copolymers have lower PP and polyethylene crystallinity, and lower melting and crystallization temperatures of crystalline EPR. Two relaxation peaks of PP and EPR appear in the dynamic spectra of blends. They merge into a very broad relaxation peak with block sequence products of the same composition, indicating good compatibility between PP and EPR in the presence of block copolymers. Varying the PP and EPR content affects the crystallinity, density, and morphological structure of the products, which in turn affects the tensile strength and elongation at break. Because of their superior mechanical properties, sequential polymerization products containing PP-EPR and PP-EPR-PP block copolymers may have potential as compatibilizing agents for isotactic polypropylene and polyethylene blends or as potential heat-resistant thermoplastic elastomers. 相似文献

Graft copolymers were designed that self-assemble into hydrogels mediated by the interaction of coiled-coil peptide domains. A linear hydrophilic polymer of HPMA was chosen as the backbone, and coiled-coil forming peptides, covalently attached to the backbone, formed the grafts. Microrheology was used to evaluate the self-assembly of graft copolymers into hydrogels. The results revealed that the length and the number of coiled-coil grafts per chain had a significant influence on the gelation process. At least 4 heptads were needed to achieve the association of graft copolymers into hydrogels. CD spectra of the copolymer containing 5 heptad grafts further suggested that coiled-coil formation may contribute to the self-assembly. Gelation of graft copolymers containing CC4 peptides indicated that a threshold amount of grafts per macromolecule is needed to form a three-dimensional structure. These studies demonstrated a potential of the graft copolymers to create self-assembling hydrogels with desirable and controllable structures. 相似文献

Poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide)-block-poly(styrene)-block-poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide)(PDMAc-bPSt-b-PDMAc) amphiphilic triblock copolymer micro/nano-objects were synthesized through reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) dispersion polymerization of St mediated with poly(N,Ndimethyl acrylamide) trithiocarbonate(PDMAc-TTC-PDMAc) bi-functional macromolecular RAFT agent.It is found that the morphology of the PDMAc-b-PSt-b-PDMAc copolymer micro/nano-objects like spheres,vesicles and vesicle with hexagonally packed hollow hoops(HHHs) wall can be tuned by changing the solvent composition.In addition,vesicles with two sizes(600 nm,264 nm) and vesicles with HHHs features were also synthesized in high solid content systems(30 wt% and 40 wt%,respectively).Besides,as compared with typical AB diblock copolymers(A is the solvophilic,stabilizer block,and B is the solvophobic block),ABA triblock copolymers tend to form higher order morphologies,such as vesicles,under similar conditions.The finding of this study provides a new and robust approach to prepare block copolymer vesicles and other higher order micelles with special structure via PISA. 相似文献

Wide-angle X-ray scattering from presumed block copolymers of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPR), i.e., PP-EPR and PP-EPR-PP, synthesized by sequential polymerization with δ-TiCl3? Et2AlCl, was examined and compared with WAXS of mechanical blends and chain-transfer mixtures of PP and EPR with comparable compositions. The peak at 2θ = 20° for both the copolymers and the mixtures was attributed to the γ modification of PP in EPR. A strong variation in the ratio of diffraction intensities I040/I110 of PP in block copolymers and mixtures was explained in terms of crystallite growth in different directions. Analysis of the patterns and calculation of crystallinity, crystallite size, and lattice parameters led to the conclusion that block structure existed in the prepared copolymers. 相似文献

A simple route to fabricate functional nano-objects via self-assembly of block copolymer-based hybrid materials is described. In water–toluene mixtures, spheres, rod-like morphologies, and ring-like morphologies as well as vesicles of metal loaded block copolymers micelles are fabricated. The concept is generic to realize different functionalities by incorporating various inorganic components (Au, Ag, Pt, Co…) into the block copolymer matrix. A mechanism describing the formation of micellar aggregates with different morphologies is presented based on a simple force balance approach. Moreover, the composition of the solvent mixture is modified to gain control over the morphology of micellar aggregates. It was found that swelling of the micelle core with a selective cosolvent is the driving force to induce morphology transitions from spherical to rod- and ring-like structures as well as vesicles. These nano-objects can be further used as building blocks to construct well-defined structures via self-assembly in spin coated thin films. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We introduce a de novo designed peptide model system that enables the systematic study of 1) the role of a membrane environment in coiled-coil peptide folding, 2) the impact of different domains of an alpha-helical coiled-coil heptad repeat on the interaction with membranes, and 3) the dynamics of coiled-coil peptide-membrane interactions depending on environmental conditions. Starting from an ideal alpha-helical coiled-coil peptide sequence, several positively charged analogues were designed that exhibit a high propensity toward negatively charged lipid membranes. Furthermore, these peptides differ in their ability to form a stable alpha-helical coiled-coil structure. The influence of a membrane environment on peptide folding is studied. All positively charged peptides show strong interactions with negatively charged membranes. This interaction induces an alpha-helical structure of the former random-coil peptides, as revealed by circular dichroism measurements. Furthermore, vesicle aggregation is induced by a coiled-coil interaction of vesicle-bound peptides. Dynamic light scattering experiments show that the strength of vesicle aggregation increases with the peptide's intrinsic ability to form a stable alpha-helical coiled coil. Thus, the peptide variant equipped with the strongest inter- and intra-helical coiled-coil interactions shows the strongest effect on vesicle aggregation. The secondary structure of this peptide in the membrane-bound state was studied as well as its effect on the phospholipids. Peptide conformation within the peptide-lipid aggregates was analyzed by (13)C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning NMR experiments. A uniformly (13)C- and (15)N-labeled Leu residue was introduced at position 12 of the peptide chain. The (13)C chemical shift and torsion angle measurements support the finding of an alpha-helical structure of the peptide in its membrane-bound state. Neither membrane leakage nor fusion was observed upon peptide binding, which is unusual for amphiphatic peptide structures. Our results lay the foundation for a systematic study of the influence of the alpha-helical coiled-coil folding motif in membrane-active events on a molecular level. 相似文献

The formation of asymmetric bis-complexes, based on terpyridine ligands and ruthenium ions, is described as a powerful tool for the self-assembly of polymer blocks end-functionalized with terpyridine units. This is illustrated in this contribution for the synthesis of amphiphilic metallo-supramolecular block copolymers, which are further used to produce aqueous micelles. Finally, the reversibility of the supramolecular bond opens new avenues for the preparation and manipulation of these nano-objects. 相似文献

Polymerization-induced self-assembly(PISA) is an emerging method for the preparation of block copolymer nano-objects at high concentrations. However, most PISA formulations have oxygen inhibition problems and inert atmospheres(e.g. argon, nitrogen) are usually required. Moreover, the large-scale preparation of block copolymer nano-objects at room temperature is challenging. Herein, we report an enzyme-assisted photoinitiated polymerization-induced self-assembly(photo-PISA) in continuous flow rea... 相似文献

Nanoparticles formed from amphiphilic block copolymers can be used as drug delivery vehicles for hydrophilic therapeutics. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐peptide copolymers were investigated for their self‐assembling properties and as consequent potential delivery systems. Mono‐ and dihydroxy PEGs were functionalized with a pentavaline sequence bearing Fmoc end groups. The molecular weight of the PEG component was varied to evaluate copolymer size and block number. These di‐ and tri‐block copolymers readily self‐assemble in aqueous solution with critical aggregation concentrations (CACs) of 0.46–16.29 μM. At concentrations above the CAC, copolymer solutions form spherical assemblies. Dynamic light scattering studies indicate these aggregates have a broad size distribution, with average diameters between 33 and 127 nm. The copolymers are comprised β‐conformations that are stable up to 80 °C, as observed by circular dichroism. This peptide secondary structure is retained in solutions up to 50% MeOH as well. The triblock copolymers proved to be the most stable, with copolymers synthesized from 10 kDa PEG having the most stable particles. Loading of carboxyfluorescein at 2–5 mol % shows that these copolymers have the potential to encapsulate hydrophilic drugs for delivery applications. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This work describes a simple, versatile solid-phase peptide-synthesis (SPPS) method for preparing micelle-forming poly(ethylene oxide)-block-peptide block copolymers for drug delivery. To demonstrate its utility, this SPPS method was used to construct two series of micelle-forming block copolymers (one of constant core-composition and variable length; the other of constant core length and variable composition). The block copolymers were then used to study in detail the effect of size and composition on micellization. The various block copolymers were prepared by a combination of SPPS for the peptide block, followed by solution–phase conjugation of the peptide block with a proprionic acid derivative of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) to form the PEO-b-peptide block copolymer. The composition of each block component was characterized by mass spectrometry (MALDI and ES-MS). Block copolymer compositions were characterized by 1H NMR. All the block copolymers were found to form micelles as judged by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and light scattering analysis. To demonstrate their potential as drug delivery systems, micelles prepared from one member of the PEO-b-peptide block copolymer series were physically loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). Micelle static and dynamic stability were found to correlate strongly with micelle core length. In contrast, these same micellization properties appear to be a complex function of core composition, and no clear trends could be identified from among the set of compositionally varying, fixed length block copolymer micelles. We conclude that SPPS can be used to construct biocompatible block copolymers with well-defined core lengths and compositions, which in turn can be used to study and to tailor the behavior of block copolymer micelles. 相似文献

The self-assembly of hybrid diblock copolymers composed of poly(HPMA) and beta-sheet peptide P11 (CH(3)CO-QQRFQWQFEQQ-NH(2)) blocks was investigated. Copolymers were synthesized via thiol-maleimide coupling reaction, by conjugation of semitelechelic poly(HPMA)-SH with maleimide-modified beta-sheet peptide. As expected, CD and CR binding studies showed that the peptide block imposed its beta-sheet structural arrangement on the structure of diblock copolymers. TEM and AFM proved that peptide and these copolymers had the ability to self-assemble into fibrils. 相似文献

Combination of self-assembly at different length scales leads to structural hierarchies. It offers rich possibilities to construct nanostructured matter, nanoscale parts, and switching (responsive) properties based on the phase transitions of the self-assembled structures. Complexation of oligomeric amphiphiles to polymers using ionic interactions, coordination, or hydrogen bonding leads to polymeric comb-shaped supramolecules (complexes), which self-assemble at a length scale of a few nm. Self-assembly at an order of magnitude larger length scale is provided by block copolymers, and combination of the latter two concepts leads to structural hierarchies. They provide e.g. templates for mesoporous materials and nano-objects, and allow switching conductivity and switching optical properties. Structural hierarchies are also observed by complexing moderately monodisperse polymeric rods with amphiphiles. Finally, self-assembly at even a larger length scale upon using colloidal particles may be combined to the above structures, as encouraged by recent observations. 相似文献

The influence of the reactivity of the starting compounds and reaction conditions on the formation of the macromolecules of copolymers has been investigated for a nonequilibrium copolycondensation in solution by acceptor-catalytic polyesterification. In the nonequilibrium copolycondensation in solution, copolymers with different distributions of units may be formed, depending on various factors. Introduction of all amounts of acid chloride (intermonomer) in the beginning of the nonequilibrium copolycondensation leads to the formation of copolymers with statistical distribution of the units independent of the difference in reactivity of the comonomers used. For synthesis of copolymers with a block structure by one-stage nonequilibrium polycondensation in solution the initial comonomers must have different reactivities (r ≠ 1) and the rate of intermonomer introduction must be lower than that of its reaction with the more reactive comonomer. On varying the above factors, block copolymers with different lengths of block segments may be obtained. 相似文献

The DNA structure is an ideal building block for the construction of functional nano-objects. In this direction, metal coordinating base pairs (ligandosides) are an appealing tool for the future specific functionalization of such nano-objects. We present here a study, in which we combine the metal ion coordinating pyrazole ligandoside with the interstrand crosslinking salen ligandoside system. We show that both ligandosides, when combined, are able to create stable multi-copper ion complexing DNA double helix structures in a cooperative fashion. 相似文献

A novel amphiphilic branched peptide (1), in which three β-sheet formable peptides (L(4)K(8)L(4)) were connected by Lys residue, was newly prepared as a building block for self-assembly. A detailed analysis of the conformation and self-assembling property of 1 in water at various pH conditions was performed by using circular dichroism, FTIR, atomic force and transmission electron microscopies. The experimental results revealed that the branched peptide showed a pH-dependent conformation forming a shape-specific β-sheet-based nanofiber with morphologically kinked structures under specific pH conditions. Exploring a novel peptide building unit that has the ability to self-assemble into designed and complicated nano-objects is valuable to facilitate a bottom-up nanotechnology. 相似文献

Graft and star copolymers having poly(methacrylate) backbone and ethylene–propylene random copolymer (EPR) branches were successfully synthesized by radical copolymerization of an EPR macromonomer with methyl methacrylate (MMA). EPR macromonomers were prepared by sequential functionalization of vinylidene chain‐end group in EPR via hydroalumination, oxidation, and esterification reactions. Their copolymerizations with MMA were carried out with monofunctional and tetrafunctional initiators by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Gel‐permeation chromatography and NMR analyses confirmed that poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)‐g‐EPR graft copolymers and four‐arm (PMMA‐g‐EPR) star copolymers could be synthesized by controlling EPR contents in a range of 8.6–38.1 wt % and EPR branch numbers in a range of 1–14 branches. Transmission electron microscopy of these copolymers demonstrated well‐dispersed morphologies between PMMA and EPR, which could be controlled by the dispersion of both segments in the range between 10 nm and less than 1 nm. Moreover, the differentiated thermal properties of these copolymers were demonstrated by differential scanning calorimetry analysis. On the other hand, the copolymerization of EPR macromonomer with MMA by conventional free radical polymerization with 2,2′‐azobis(isobutyronitrile) also gave PMMA‐g‐EPR graft copolymers. However, their morphology and thermal property remarkably differed from those of the graft copolymers obtained by ATRP. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
